Material World
Together with Bingam, a local sail making company, boo has recently developed a new beach chair for the "Material World" project that matches companies from Schiedam with local product designers. Bingham worked with boo to make the chair that is made from a recycled trailer cover. Material world is organized by Artoteek, Schiedam and 300procent.

5482

The boo project for Schijndel is completed.
Boo has designed a contemporary city gate for Schijndel, a small town in the Netherlands. The gate marks the entrance to the town centre where you are only allowed to drive 30 kilometers per hour and contains the numbers 5482, which is the postcode for this part of Schijndel. The gate functions as a landmark and a way of reducing the speed of the passing traffic.

If you are ever in Schijndel, check out the crossing: Wijbosscheweg -v. Berghenstraat- Hoevebraaksestraat

BOO + DARK
Boo’s latest lamp, formerly known as Bucky, will be produced by our favourite Belgium lighting manufacturer, DARK. As the name Bucky just wouldn’t do in Belgium, it has been renamed Hoppy. The Hoppy will be sold as a flat package and we promise the consumer a lot of fun building it.
Hoppy will be launched at Remagen during the Köln International Furniture Fair from 16-22 January 2006. Remagen can be found at Neumarkt 35-37, 50667 Köln (tel: +49 221 207970).

You are also welcome to join us at the Dark party at Remagen on 16 january 2006 from 20.30 till late.

For those who didn’t notice, MNO no longer exists. Ben Oostrum continues to work as boo | ben oostrum ontwerpt.
Since august 1, 2005, boo | ben oostrum ontwerpt has been stationed at the 25 kV building, in the Schiecentrale in Rotterdam.
The Schiecentrale in the Lloyd Quarter in Rotterdam is a former electricity generating plant, which has been transformed into a creative melting pot.

I know,.. I promised a party. But as I’ve been very busy, I haven’t found the time to organize one. However a whole New Year is coming and some Friday afternoon/evening, a drink will definitely take place!
Can't wait? You are always welcome to come and visit me. Just give me a call or send me an e-mail. The coffee or drinks ( depending on the time of day) will be ready.
